a little journey (not the band...)

Well it seems that we are now 7 weeks into this little journey of ours. Each day brings new challenges, new wonders and an overwhelming sense of love and purpose. It's so amazing to look into this little person's eyes and see a part of your own. His smile is unlike anything I've ever witnessed. And of course his smell makes my knees weak. The nights are getting better but neither of us are getting all that much sleep still. But somehow it all seems to go away when I hold him close and he looks up at me with such curiosity and innocence. We all three took our first shower together today which was by far the most amazing shower I have ever had. And he didn't cry once! In fact we even got a smile out of him when we dried him off. Those are the moments I don't ever want to forget. Those are the moments that I'll be remembering when he's 16 years old and telling me how stupid I am. Ahh, the life of a parent. One that I will soon know so well....
